Sacrifice of Darkness: A Guardians of Eternity Novella (1001 Dark Nights) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 329 ratings

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Alexandra Ivy comes a new story in her Guardians of Eternity series…

Javad has one rule. No fighting pits.

It doesn’t matter that the savage battles have been a tradition among demons for eons. As the manager of the Viper’s Nest in Vegas, his word is law. Period. Then he hears rumors that some fool has dared to create a fighting pit in the middle of the desert. He goes in search of the hidden location, only to realize too late it’s a trap by his former master Vynom. The powerful vampire is determined to force Javad to fight once again. This time to the death.

Terra is a rare fey creature known as a Seraf. Long ago she’d been captured by Vynom and forced to heal the fighters he used in his pits. Javad had rescued her, and she’d given him a medallion. If he ever needed her, all he had to do was to speak her name and the magic would lead her to him. When she hears his call she doesn’t hesitate to rush to his rescue. Even when it means returning to the dark violence that still haunts her dreams.

Can they escape the nightmare that nearly destroyed them in the past? And if they survive, are they willing to sacrifice the duties that have pulled them apart to battle for a future together?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

    This was a really good novella. The characters were good, even if there was only one previous character from the rest of the series that made more than a minor appearance, with one more who made that minor appearance. I hope that the main two characters in this novella show up in a future full novel one day. I won't bore you with a plot summary as I know other reviewers are fond of doing that. If you liked the previous full books in the series and the other novellas, I think you should give this one a shot because I don't think you'll be disappointed. Have at it! I can't wait for the next one.

    Sacrifice of Darkness was a great little read! Alexandra's Guardians of Eternity series is one of my all time favorites!
    Javad is a Vampire and manages a demon club in Law Vegas. His start in this life was mired in violence as his sire used him to make money in fighting pits. He spent decades being used and abused until his sire bought a seraf nymph, who are known for their healing abilities, to heal his fighters.
    Terra made Javad want things he shouldn't and setting her free so she can join her people was the catalyst that finally gave Javad the strength to leave and build a better life for himself.
    The past doesn't stay buried long and Javad falls into a trap set by his sire which brings him together with the one woman who has been in his dreams for years!!

    An exciting story of loyalty, betrayal and unforgettable love. Javad is a vampire who for centuries was used as a fighter to make his sire Vynom wealthy. Since escaping Vynom, he is loyal to Viper the clan chief of Chicago and his current master. When Javad learns his sire Vynom is holding illegal fights in the Vegas desert, Javad is determined to stop them. Viper sends Levet, the knight in shining armor gargoyle, with Javad to help him find the illusion hiding Vynom's activities. What awaits is not what or who he expected. Loved it!
